The Fight Against the Saloon.
from the New York Observer

The movement against the saloon
gathers strength as it proceeds.
Everywhere through the Union
North, East, West and South-the
people are rising in rebellion against
the rule of rum. Restrictive legisla-
ton in various forms, and constitu-
tional prohibition, are the principal
lines along which the warfare pro-
ceeds. During the present season
the legislature of no less than twenty
one states have been called upon to
consider the drink evil and take &C
ton toward its suppression. In near
lv every one of the states something
has been done to check the growth of
the saloon and curtail it's power.
High license laws, local option and
prohibitory amendments, are the Or
der of the day. Never before in the
history of the temperance cause has
the feeling against the liquor traffic
been so deep, so widespread, so ear
nest, so determined as now.
The most powerful of agencies, the
public press, has at last arrayed itself
against the traffic; many of the lead
ing secular journals of the country
have adopted tone of bitter hostility
to the grogshop, and are attacking il
daily with all the force and ability
they have at command. No stronger
or more effective arguments agains
the saloon can be found anywhere
than those put forward in the editori
al columns of some of the New Yorl
dailies. The gain for temperance il
this direction has been of the mos
significant and promising character
Public men, too-men OF affairs
judges, statesmen, political leaders
who have hitherto held themselve
aloof from the discussion of temper
ance, are now taking sides in the con
fiict; and many of the ablest and bes
of them have openly declared agains

, ards"

A correspondent of the Rural YER
monter, in speaking of the hearing
. before the Interstate commission at
Rutland, very pertinently says:
The appointment of counsel by
Governor Ormsbee is creditable to
his judgment and just to the state.
Fine writings on such matters have
their place but what the commission
ers in Rutland will want is facts.
The attorney appointed by the gov
ernor can do nothing without facts to
back him up. If Senator Edmunds
comes before the commission to make
an argument for the people of Yer
mont he will need the proof of impo-
sitions and violation of the interstate
law to render his argument effective.
There may be provisions of the law
that will work injury to our railroads /;
If SO, we want to know it, so the law
can be righted. If freight can be
hauled from Boston to Chicago or
Detroit through Vermont as cheap
again as it can be dropped off at Yer
mont stations, we want to know the
reason why. If HNational Despatch
lines soliciting freight for western
points, can override the plain provis-
ions of the law as regards intermedi-
ate points along the entire line, we
want to know what these "despatcl
lines" are, who compose them. Why
not all the railroads in the United
states consolidate themselves into
such line, and have done with it
All these things are not matter OF
Encouragement. If what has beer
done did not disturb the corporations
we should hear nothing of these com
binations. Let them turn and twist
by and by the vulnerable point will BE-
exposed. In the mean time let the
coming hearing before the commission
in Rutland be attended to. Shipper.

ment to the License Act, which was passed
at the last session of the Legislature, and

ing or delivering any license to a Sheriff,
the Auditor shall fill out the license in

issued, the kind of business authorized to
be carried on under the license, the room,
building and place ewhere the business is to be
carried on, the dates when said license be-
gins and expires, and the amount of money
to be paid therefor, and shall at the same
time make entries of the same upon the

license is returned, by the Sheriff, unsold,
the Auditor shall cancel and file the license,

tion upon the stubs thereof. No Board of

accounted for shall be deducted before any
claim shall be allowed to Sheriff. No
county shall be liable to the Auditor, other

licenses shall apply to the Sheriff for the
same, giving in the application descrip-
tion of the room or building in which the
business is to be carried on for which the
license is issued.
